Description: | An undatable and possibly incomplete unidentified copper alloy penannular ring-shaped object, flat and slightly angled on its underside and curving to the upper face. It measures 17.52x16.28mm (internal 10.72x10.52mm) and weighs 1.43g. It is c.2mm thick.The object is rather rough to the underside with traces of a possibly metallic deposit or corrosion there. The other face has a little of this but is otherwise smooth shiny and brown. The ends of the ring are rather more lozengiform in cross-section than the rest of the object and it is difficult to see if there is a break. On one end is a central spot perhaps of corrosion or perhaps from a narrowed part of the ring - as maybe the restriction for a pin on a Medieval annular brooch. However it is not clear. The metal has a possible Late Iron Age or Roman feel to it, but may also be from something of later date.
